I've used my 430 for a year now and don't fly airways anymore so it's not
a
"serious disadvantge". I don't remember it ever being a problem with an
amended clearance, either. Amended may have me flying to an intersection
which
is in the 430.


Same here, I have only had one V airway in the last 4 years being /G.

In the Northeast US, I quite frequently (filed as /G with a GNS430-
equipped aircraft) receive ATC instructions to fly a certain heading to
join an airway. Perhaps it is a local ATC preference?
